Black Leaders’ Mental Health in the Workplace: What’s Really Happening?
It’s not just burnout.
It’s isolation, gaslighting, chronic underestimation, and being the only one expected to “represent” while staying composed.
In this episode, we move beyond surface-level wellness advice to name what’s actually impacting the mental health of Black professionals, especially those in leadership roles inside hostile or indifferent institutions.
We explore:
The psychological cost of constant visibility and representation
How harm gets mislabeled as “stress” or “overwork”
The emotional impact of racism disguised as feedback or leadership strategy
What it means to advocate for your care in spaces that pathologize your pain
And why real support has to go beyond access to an Employee Assistance Program
